Danny Clay

Danny Clay is a composer and educator whose work is deeply rooted in curiosity, collaboration, and the sheer joy of making things with people of all ages and levels of artistic experience. He sees “composing” as the act of putting things together and strives to find ways to utilize this act to foster creativity and connection – whether it be playing musical games with visitors to Chicago’s Millennium Park or building experimental sound installations with classes of elementary schoolers. Working closely with artists, students, and community members alike, he builds worlds of inquiry, play, and perpetual discovery that often combine sound with other forms of media.
